At my house for a number of years, in even recent times after my children were grown and on their own and didn't have to come...but did, there was a fried turkey a...

Re: Gun show December 2025

I don't know what was actually selling. I saw a number of people filling out paper at the apparently professional dealer tables. Someone that's an individual selling their collection wouldn't have to fill out the gun check papers if selling to state residents above certain age classifications based ...

Re: Canon EOS 630

In 1989 this is what they sold for. Off shore maybe from this advertiser for mail order shoppers and probably without the US warranty if it was. The camera was one price the lens or lenses were extra. In today's money a camera with a 50mm normal lens would be the equal to something over $1000.
